1 | Democracy at work in marriage? | 1 Pet 3:1 | joyduncan | 124411 | ||
I really like your explanation. Let me ask you - do you think then that a woman has more of an obligation to be submissive in the marriage relationship? What do you do when, for a difficult decision, both parties feel uncomfortable with the others' choice? Should there be another system to ensure that both parties at times concede and at times take the lead? | ||||||
2 | Democracy at work in marriage? | 1 Pet 3:1 | Morant61 | 124418 | ||
Greetings Joy! If I understand your question correctly, I do believe that the husband is given a unique position in the relationship. Both should respond to one another in love and submission. However, there may come a time when both sides cannot agree on a course of action. At that point, I would say the husband may have to make a decision and that the wife would be Bibically encouraged to submit to her husband at that point. However, I think that these kinds of choices are very rare. If both are loving one another, submitting to one another, and seeking God's will, they should be able to come to a mutual agreement on a course of action. I have been married for 20 years and I don't recall a single time that I have had to make a decision without the support of my wife. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
